Secure your installation of WordPress
Lately, I’ve been noticing a lot more attacks on WordPress installations I’ve set up. Images and false addresses have been injected into various folders and files. So I’ve been reviewing a lot of general security procedures to ensure that such occurrences don’t happen again.
I also found a great presentation which documents various techniques for really [...]

The problems with Jquery & Wordpress as a CMS
I’m a big fan of increasing productivity by having computers do work for me. With the release of the website for InBloom version 2.0, I decided to use Wordpress as a CMS (content management system) so I wouldn’t have to fire up Dreamworks to make a correction or an update.
So far, it’s been working [...]

A review of Wordpress Theme WPRemix3…
So after spending many hours re-writing and developing InBloom, I relaunched the site using Wordpress as a CMS. I also wanted to save myself the headache and purchase an out-of-the-box / “premium” theme for Wordpress to save myself the time of developing a new theme from scratch. I looked at various options including Thematic, Thesis, [...]
A nice introduction to AJAX

The future of Wordpress?
The future is coming, the question is really what will it be and where will we end up? I’m absolutely fascinated by the progress on Wordpress, the community that has sprouted up around it, its proliferation of web standards, and the future of web apps. Wordpress isn’t the root of things like AJAX, [...]
I Concur: “Embrace The Scroll”
Echoing the rebirth of thought in web design, I read (along with much of the rest of the design blogosphere apparently) an interesting if somewhat controversial postulate in web design: “Embrace the scroll”
A Brief History
For those not privy to the discussion, after the initial revolution in web design when pages/sites went from LOOOOOOONG pages of [...]
